Across the spectrum of behavioral, naturalistic developmental behavioral, and developmental/relational interventions for young children with autism, there has been limited empirical testing of the mechanism of these early intervention approaches. Testing mediation provides insights to the how or why the intervention condition may be preferred in comparison to a control in the population sample (Kraemer, American Journal of Psychiatry, 2016, 173, 672). Combined with an understanding of moderation (for whom or under what conditions), we move toward a better understanding of how to personalize interventions to build on strengths and maximize skill gains for autistic children. Yet, to date there are very few published texts of mechanism in early intervention for young children with autism. This commentary explores a recently published article by Carruthers et al (2023) and examines themes and considerations for measurement of intervention outcomes and mediators.

Characteristics and outcomes of patients with repeat rapid response team activations in a tertiary centre in Singapore.
Singapore Med J
January 2025
Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Singapore General Hospital, Singapore.
Introduction: Rapid response teams (RRTs) are prevalent in healthcare institutions worldwide. Repeated activations are associated with increased morbidity and higher resource utilisation, and represent a heterogeneous population that may benefit from early identification. To date, there are no published data on repeat RRT activations in Singapore.

Acta Radiol
January 2025
R Madhavan Nayar Center for Comprehensive Epilepsy Care, Department of Neurology, Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India.
Background: The role of imaging in autoimmune encephalitis (AIE) remains unclear, and there are limited data on the utility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to diagnose, treat, or prognosticate AIE.
Purpose: To evaluate whether MRI is a diagnostic and prognostic marker for AIE and assess its efficacy in distinguishing between various AIE subtypes.
Material And Methods: We analyzed data from 96 AIE patients from our prospective autoimmune registry.
The overlooked role of microbiota-gut-brain communication in child psychiatry: a call for integration in early intervention strategies.
Commun Integr Biol
January 2025
Department of Psychiatry, DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine, Harrogate, TN, USA.
Emerging research has highlighted the significant role of microbiota-gut-brain communication in child psychiatric disorders, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and anxiety disorders. Despite this, mainstream psychiatric interventions for children continue to focus predominantly on neurological and psychological therapies, neglecting the critical influence of gut microbiota on brain development and behavior. This commentary underscores the need for greater integration of microbiota-targeted therapies, such as dietary interventions, prebiotics, and probiotics, into early psychiatric intervention strategies.
